The Deer Sam’s Chapter
boasts 21 Couples in their Chapter and enjoys camping, service to others,
donating to charities such as Children’s Justice Center, Soldiers in
Iraq, Children on the Indian Reservation, and many others. During 2010 the
Chapter donated a total of 14,139.5 service hours in addition to $200.00
to Humanitarian Aid, $200.00 Quail Run Charter School, $200.00 to Dogs for the Deaf, $400.00 to Shop with a
Cop, $300.00 to Utah Food Coalition, $200.00 to Special Olympics, and
$250.00 to Shriners Hospital. The Chapter also donated pull tabs to The
Ronald McDonald House, clothing, quilts, hats, booties, books, toys,
stuffed animals, tapes and DVD’s to Shriners Hospital, Battered
Women’s Shelter, Provo Utah Mission, Utah County Homeless Shelter, and
House of Hope. Our Chapter
also spent a total of 60 man hours cleaning up Lincoln Beach on Utah Lake.
We also spent time at Timpanogos High School applying barcodes on
text books for the school. We
plan on returning and doing more sometime after the first of January.
Two of our members, Eldon Walker and Carl Pace passed away during
2010. We increased our
membership by adding two new rigs; Karl & Elaine North and Jim and
Cathy Keller.

“Friends
you and me…You brought another friend…And then there were three…We
started our group…Our circle of friends…And like that circle…There
is no beginning and no end.”
Winter Meeting Schedule:
Once a month we meet for Dinner or Lunch. The two couples in charge
select the time, date and place.
Summer Campout Schedule:
Once a month we meet for a 2-4 day campout at various campsites. In
October we draw for the turns. Three couples, decide where we go, when,
and what we do.
Once a year our club tries
to plan what we call a "Special Event” which includes a trip to a
fun place to camp and travel around seeing special sites and new
activities. We have had some spectacular times doing this. In 2011
we have ten couples planning to attend the Rally in Redmond, Oregon.
